Recipe for Buffalo Hot Wings

by Two Peas on January 6, 2009

Our dear friend Jason bought us a deep fryer for Christmas. Josh was on Cloud 9! He still is! I appreciate the gift, but a deep fryer? Jason knows I would NEVER allow Josh to buy one on his own, hence the gift. I am a health educator and try to eat healthy most of the time…minus my addiction to sweets:) I do believe in moderation in all things, including fried foods, but to own a huge deep fryer? That is a little much for me. But again, I do appreciate the gift and I am glad Josh loves it! Thanks Jason:)
All Josh has been talking about is frying EVERYTHING…including our breakfast cereal. Don’t worry I didn’t let it go that far:) But Josh did make Buffalo Hot Wings for the Utah game. He was beyond excited. He researched recipes, bought all of the ingredients, and did all of the work. Well, his friend John helped, but I stayed out of it!

He decided to use cut up chicken breasts for the “wings.” He didn’t want any bones to get in the way. He wanted the wings to be nice and meaty! After rolling them in a flour mixture, he carefully dropped them into the sizzling oil! Luckily, he did this outside so the house didn’t stink!

After they were golden and crispy, he added the hot sauce he created. I didn’t taste it but I could smell the fire!! He rolled the wings in the sauce and baked them so they were nice and crisp!

Josh was in heaven! He made sure everyone at the party sampled his wings. He said they were the best wings ever. He is still talking about them:) I am glad he enjoyed them! He did a great job!

Combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dip cut up chicken into flour mixture then dip into buttermilk then back into the mixture. Fry for about 5-6 minutes at 360 degrees or until golden brown on all sides. I used vegetable oil since I am allergic to Peanut Oil.

Sauce

1 large bottle of Franks Red Hot2 tablespoons of butterAdd cayenne pepper to taste depending on how spicy you like.

In a small sauce pan put Franks Red Hot in pan melt the butter and then add desired amount of cayenne pepper. Then bring to boil and then simmer for 5 minutes.

After all chicken is fried cover all sides of chicken with sauce. This can be done a few ways. I tried to put in bowl then pour sauce over and mix. I did not like this way because it was to aggressive and damaged the chicken a little. I then laid all of the chicken on a cookie sheet and poured the sauce over the fried chicken. Make sure all of the chicken is well covered. Put the chicken that is on the cookie sheet into the oven, pre-heated to 350 degrees. Bake the Boneless Hot Wings for 20-30 min. or until crispy!

Maria that really looks good. I’m so impressed that he wanted to make them from scratch. I would probably cheat and just get takeout or use the frozen kind and pop in the oven!!! I can be a lazy cook sometimes. But I bet yours tasted way better.

I am looking thru your last few posts and you are a twig! How do you stay so thin? I have gained a few from blogging and cooking/baking all the time.You are giving me insentive…….maybe you are not really eating the wings/bread/gauc/pizza?Well, you look terrific!Happy New Year!

Maria, your post made me giggle. No, I can’t say I ever would have guessed that a Fry Daddy would ever come to live at your house, given the healthy recipes you usually post! But like you said –everything in moderation! Glad that Josh likes his gift! These wings look great!

Oh Maria, deep-frying is not necessary unhealty when done right :). In my household, the hubby is the one that refuse to buy a deep-fryer or I would bought one long ago. so now I use a thermometer. I am simply drooling over those wings….

My husband doesn’t like bone-in chicken, but loves spicy and loves KFC’s boneless wings, what a great recipe. We have a fryer, too. Don’t use it often, but I’ll have to surprise him soemtime with these!Love the guac!The frozen oatmeal cookies sound awesome, too!

Holy Cow! Though I know how deadly they are, I LOVE Buffalo Wings. Knowing how bad they are, I only have them about 2 or 3 times a year. They look stupendously good the way your DH made them. I must say that it was very nice of him to do all that frying outside. :o)

Mikky, I researched these for awhile and never really came up with great recipe. The most important thing is to use Franks Hot Suace. I saw one recipe that did not use any sort of liquid but they did not have pictures so I discredited it imediatley. What you could use instead of buttermilk is milk with either lemon or vinegar. I suppose you could also use egg.
